 * Could you provide details of what "incorrect syntax" means? What are the exact fixes being made here? ~ Rob 13 Talk 13:28, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

The task is not specified, but I don't think bot approval is needed for a task that only involves 60 pages a year. These can be fixed by hand instead of by a bot. &mdash; Carl (CBM · talk) 13:58, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

This would be OK if we had to do only 1 small task and not about 200 small tasks. 114 tasks are in CHECKWIKI's lists and 80 more arr in my to-do lists which I 'll submit for BRFAs. -- Magioladitis (talk) 15:31, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I agree with Rob, could you elaborate? In my opinion the "function details" should never be empty &mdash; MusikAnimal  talk  01:31, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

You haven't bothered to fill out the BRFA form completely, or people wouldn't have to be asking you what "incorrect syntax" means. Once your current backlog of open BRFAs is taken care of, feel free to come back with a full-specified BRFA. Anomie⚔ 02:16, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
